Two clubs in the Western Conference of MLS will do battle today in a league match between the Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 p.m. ET will be held at CenturyLink Field in Seattle and can be live streamed here. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC Sports.

Seattle Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid had this to offer ahead fo today's league encounter (via MLS's official website): "[The Supporters' Shield] does say who was the best team throughout the season. The MLS Cup, no matter how you want to cut it or slice it, is still a situation of who plays well as the end. There's been a lot of times where [lower seeded teams] have won the championship because they hit a good streak at the end."

"The Supporters' Shield is reflective of a body of work over 34 games," he added. "So for me, yeah, it does have some meaning."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Vancouver Whitecaps center-back Kendall Waston has solidified the club's defense since joining from Saprissa during the summer transfer window. The 26-year-old is averaging the most clearances per match in MLS at 10.3.

Seattle Sounders' Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Frei; Anibaba, Scott, Marshall, Gonzales; Neagle, Pineda, Alonso, Pappa; Dempsey Martins
